Lol, you sit in the front rows of any standup set you're taking a risk. Jimmy Carr once said that you should sit up front for a standup set with someone if you're not sure of your status after he did this.
They did an updated version that came out in 2015 for the 40th season. So that explains where I read it.
In the youtube comments it notes that Mikey wrote this, and I wonder what the inspiration was. Did he see the pants in a store window first? Or did someone find the print in a fabric store? And were they sitting on the sketch for the right host?
So many questions. Also, I found this.
Soon to be free agent Quarterback Johnny Manziel will not face assault charges stemming from an altercation with his girlfriend.”Too bad.” said Jerry Jones “He would have made a great Cowboy”
If you’re wondering how Facebook’s friends wished them a happy 12th birthday it broke down like this, Twitter was their friend that was too cool for them that just tweeted “HBD” to them. Instagram was the close friend that posted a touching picture collage on Instagram. Snapchat was the shy friend that has a crush on Facebook that snapchatted them thinking it was flirting. And finally, Myspace was the weird old relative that you haven’t spoken to in a while…so they posted on Facebook’s Facebook wall.
A new study shows eating more fish could help stave off Alzheimer’s disease. The study isn’t definitive though because all the test subjects were just the same sneaky shark in different disguises
Punxsutawney Phil predicted an early spring this week. As did Staten Island Chuck, if you are unfamiliar with Staten Island Chuck he is also a groundhog that predicts when spring is coming but instead of using his shadow to make his predication, he “knows a guy that knows a guy that has some inside information and that’s all you need to know about that.”
The NFL Pro-Bowl ratings were down again this year as it was facing stiff competition from Fox’s Grease:Live. In an attempt to bolster ratings, the NFL will not play the Pro-Bowl next year and instead show Concussion: The Musical
I've decided to start keeping the jokes I write in a blog. Right now it just has some monologue jokes and a satirical writings. Check it on tumblr and twitter
I found this one that Amazon claims is still available.
Amazon link for those interested in picking it up, like myself.
It's from a sound effects record from 1964.
The first time I remember hearing it was at the end of Prince's song "Delirious" from the LP 1999.
Regarding VPN detection, I've found NordVPN's obfuscation serves to be a blessing so you're not blocked even by the more aggressive anti-VPN sites. I imagine other VPN services offer something like it as well.
3:30am sounds fine...
...if it's 3:30am of Friday morning. Hell, I'd even suggest 3:30am of Thursday morning, but that sounds a bit extreme. Or does it, considering it's Mulaney hosting? Your call, not mine.
This is one of the more recent experiences I found about the SNL standby line experience for the Kim Kardashian episode: https://bwog.com/2021/11/how-to-the-snl-standby-line/
Stock up on as many clothes as reasonably possible, as the idea is that you'll be wearing all of them at once on the standby line—it's gonna be a freezing weekend according to AccuWeather. And good luck!
Hi! So from what I've found u/TheCameron is indeed correct, the sketch is called "Sex Games" and it's from S17E17 Sharon Stone/Pearl Jam. According to Amazon this episode is available on Seeso. HOWEVER, Amazon does state "For clearances reasons, episodes have been edited from their original version." So that particular scene may or may not be included.
If you go on the Amazon listing for the DVD there is a screenshot of the back of the box and it lists I'm No Angel as being included.
I can't speak to Chic, but it looks like The National are in the UK the entire month of September and then are doing shows every Saturday in October, sorry:

Now that I look at Arcade Fire's schedule more closely, they are doing a show in Dallas on Thursday the 28th. So I doubt they would be able to get to NY in time to prepare to do SNL on the 30th. I wonder if that means the premiere will be October 7th.
OMG, I JUST made a video of that monologue the other day, lol, so yes, I do have it: ~~http://youtu.be/tId3wzgH_EY~~
EDIT: YouTube blocked it, so watch it HERE instead.
I actually have a pretty great book on Second City that I no longer need if anyone wants it.
https://www.amazon.com/Second-City-Backstage-Greatest-Theater/dp/1570715610
If any interested fans want this for free private message me.
This book has a chapter of bumpers but not all the bumpers.
It has many great photos, too.
I agree a book of all the bumpers would be great; hunting for that is how I found this.
All the bumpers were on the NBC SNL website last I checked (a few months ago) … or appeared to be as every episode I randomly checked was there.
Amazon and also Amazon Prime
No. I’m friends with Andy. He’s the nicest of all of them honestly. He just released a cookbook … https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Drink-Be-Murray-Favorites/dp/0063141000/ref=asc_df_0063141000/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=598290856963&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4965225964209229391&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&...
But Dem Trumps is a more interesting idea.
Although there was something about an earlier president:
What if George Bush were a black man? Would his actions of the past leave him dead or in jail? Would he still be President of the United States, or the friendly Burger King Shift Manager? Would he have actually had to show up and fight in the Vietnam War, or would he still be able to pretend like he was there? Would he be in a position to steal elections, or would he be running down the street with stolen TVs?
This book is an exploration of alternative realities. We travel through the life of George Bush, but in a different plane of existence. In this plane, he is Pookie Bush, a poor black child in the projects. In Pookies world, there are no limousines, just drive-by shootings. He doesnt have a nanny, for his mother is someone elses nanny. There are no free trips to Yale, just free trips to jail. In his world, survival of the fittest charges right into play, and we find Pookie Bush, like George, is certainly not the fittest.
What happens when this mentally weak, undisciplined alter-ego is faced with the challenges of the black male in America? What happens when he confronts the public school system that is more likely to put him in special education than they are to hand him his diploma? What happens when he faces the criminal justice system in its real form: not the one with Harvard educated attorneys and judges on the payroll, but the one with a drunk, underpaid public defender and a prepaid orange jump suit.
Have you ever thought about this? If you consider the most accomplished politicians in America today: John Kerry, Bill Clinton, or George Bush. None of them would be taken seriously had they been born black instead of white. What does that say about America? Read the book to come to your own conclusions.

> The what
"William Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the world—and your place in it. With blazing originality, (The Fourth Turning](https://www.amazon.com/dp/0767900464) illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about how America’s past will predict its future.
Strauss and Howe base this vision on a provocative theory of American history. The authors look back five hundred years and uncover a distinct pattern: Modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four eras—or "turnings"—that last about twenty years and that always arrive in the same order. In The Fourth Turning, the authors illustrate these cycles using a brilliant analysis of the post-World War II period.
First comes a High, a period of confident expansion as a new order takes root after the old has been swept away. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion against the now-established order. Then comes an Unraveling, an increasingly troubled era in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis—the Fourth Turning—when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. Together, the four turnings comprise history's seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth.
The Fourth Turning offers bold predictions about how all of us can prepare, individually and collectively, for America’s next rendezvous with destiny."
I'll say it again .... I'd love a book that was filled with all of the SNL bumper photos from every show of every season ... maybe including outtakes.
Closest I've found is a chapter of this book
is it the one with the art dealers played by maya rudolph and fred armisen? those skits were hilarious!
Just a reminder that NBC is available over the air with an antenna. Since the signal is digital now it either comes through crisp and clear or not at all. Cost me less than $20 and I've been watching SNL for the last year in HD quality as it airs.
Goes without saying though that if you live in the middle of nowhere, you might not get a signal.
His new book is, "From Saturday Night to Sunday Night: My 40 years of Laughter, Tears and Touchdowns on TV"
You can get her voice on Alexa. While not as good as Samuel L. Jackson's, she does a great job at it:

Most piracy is done via torrenting.
The cheapest option is to install a VPN (I highly recommend Mullvad, for reasons of cost, privacy, reliability, ease of use, etc.), download a BitTorrent client (I recommend qBittorrent), find a website which hosts torrent files/magnet links (for movies, 1337x is pretty good), and then download the torrent file or copy the magnet link of the media you want from there (I generally find it more convenient to copy the magnet link, if one exists).
When you load the torrent file or paste the magnet link into the BitTorrent client, it will start downloading the file you want. Voilà! (It’s important to stay connected to the VPN while you do this, so that you’re real IP isn’t seen.)
If you’re willing to pay a tiny bit more, you can subscribe to a seedbox (I recommend Feral Hosting), which is basically space on a remote server (often in countries like Panama that don’t require companies to keep logs of user data), from which you can torrent at higher speeds, continue to torrent even when your own computer is inactive, and store torrented files remotely, downloading them when you wish. You do not need a VPN when using a seedbox, and you do not need to worry about downloading even pirated material directly from your own seedbox slot, since it’s private. (In any case however, it’s good to use a VPN during most of one’s time online even if not necessary.)
Main source is his autobiography where he talks about going to a crack house and smoking crack. Its a tough book to read and I hope he is ok.
Thanks for this! Love when Vulture does these SNL interview pieces; they really reveal a lot of new things. The 1985 one with Dan Vitale is the craziest but this one was wacky too. The best book about the 1980 season is this one:

​
I said it once but will so again there badly needs to be a mini series about this season; there's enough juicy details to do at least 4-5 episodes. What a freaking nightmare that season truly was. Jean was in over her head from the start and her ideocracy waspy Karen behavior helped multiply it all by 10. Her reading reviews was brutal; she went really ape the first week and more or less insulted everyone for an hr straight. It's like the "too many notes," scene from Amadeus but with a comedy streak to it. The writer talking to the media that Mitchell mentioned did happen and he got threatened with violence by a bodyguard of Jean's for it; he left the show over it. Mason Williams got driven to the point of a breakdown by Jean. Two of the main actors feuded so bad they almost fought. So many goodies happened that year which would blow an audience's mind. I'd love to see who they'd get for Jean and Rocket; they were buddy buddies that year. I'd pick Ana De Armas to play Gail Matthias, look a lot in the face and similar body. Piscopo and Murphy and even Gilbert would be huge picks too.
The cast picking stories were insane. It pisses me off even more now that they didn't pick Reubens; the fact he was that dedicated and they didn't even consider him is just bone chillingly stupid. John Goodman tried but was rejected on his first go despite being around the show and knowing how it worked. Picking awkward Ann Risley over >!Mercedes Rhule !< is incredibly stupid; especially considering her range and future.
Terry Gross is a gifted interviewer with an ability to draw people out and ask questions as a result of her active listening. None of her talents were needed in this interview, Shannon was so ready to share such deep and personal thoughts. Her memoir is definitely on my list to read.
I mean, he wrote a god damn book about it.
Granted I've never read the book or even a summary. But it's pretty fucking tone deaf to call it "If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer".
​
It's at the end of this book as it ends at the end of the 1984 season. But he wasn't spying per se; NBC allowed him up there to start the transition. Ebersol wasn't happy about it though and I can agree that was very odd to do.
The out of print “Scriptbook” has scripts, photos, notes and all kind of memorabilia, all wrapped in a fictional SNL show hosted by Generalissimo Franco. I have a copy, and you can still find it on eBay and elsewhere.
Saturday Night Live (1977) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0380513420/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_0TZ7CB48F1AM0J0X2T00
He is in a new Amazon movie: The Late Bloomer and has some great lines, very Beck.
Finally some sense. We need to have a Comedy Directorate so "comedians" can have their jokes vetted before being publicly shared. As a former citizen of the USSR one of my comrades Yakov Smirnoff described how the govt of jokes operated.
>Colin "I have a punchable face" Jost makes for the perfect punching bag
So he definitely plays into it
Here you go. I thought if I uploaded it privately on YouTube it might skirt by..but no luck, blocked during the upload. Those copyright detectors are pretty on point, I guess.
Someone who comes to mind is Meredith Stepien of Team Starkid fame (A Very Potter Musical Series, Starship, Firebringer, etc...). She's mentioned auditioning for SNL in the past and she's involved in the comedy scene in Chicago. Here's a podcast that I found with her and a few others talking about SNL auditions.
It's his first hosting appearance. Not on Hulu, no doubt because of music clearance issues. https://thetvdb.com/series/saturday-night-live/episodes/185938
I actually preferred Jimmy Fallon's Sheen to Bill Hader's. Maybe that's simply because I saw Fallon's first. They both nailed it. Winning. Duh!
True ..
... or maybe a volume for S1-10, 11-20, etc., releasing a new one every ten years.
I've got this which has a few bumper photos (and many, many other photos):
https://www.amazon.com/dp/3836552418/
It, too, is already a bit dated (obviously) when it comes to recent years.
Book excerpt from "Thirty-Nine Years of Short-Term Memory Loss - The Early Days of SNL from Someone Who Was There", by Tom Davis
https://www.amazon.com/Thirty-Nine-Years-Short-Term-Memory-Loss/dp/080214456X/ref=sr\_1\_sc\_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1457906198&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=thirty+nin+years+of+short+term
I just bought it on Amazon. The price seems to have gone up since I bought mine, but it was a good investment😂, that and holtzmann are my favorite pops
Flat antennas can be problematic in the district. Lots of buildings have traditional antennas on the roof, that you can connect to via a wall jack. I recommend trying a more traditional antenna, and if you can get it outdoors, all the better.
antennaweb.org or tvfool.com are great resources as well.
Best of luck to you.
Hey man just stock up on straws from Amazon so you don’t have to reach for them so hard: https://www.amazon.com/ALINK-Biodegradable-Supplies-Decorations-Celebrations/dp/B07BJ2XRHS?ref_=Oct_CARAsinC_15754801_1&pf_rd_p=7f62bbbe-7ce4-560e-9809-8d247cb691b2&pf_rd_s=mobile-hybrid-5&pf_rd_t=30901&pf_rd_i=15754801&pf_rd_m...
Hated this one.
Emasculating white supremacists is something... white supremacists do.
To make themselves look docile and cute. Even though they are armed to the teeth.
For anyone interested in a recent history of the alt-right, I recommend:
Proud Boys and the White Ethnostate: How the Alt-Right Is Warping the American Imagination by Alexandra Minna Stern
- Ignore the rating, it got review bombed as 'Liberal Drivel' by alt-right supporters.
For all the woke mockery on SNL, it feels like they are never mocking a Joe Rogan or a Ben Shapiro pretends to be centrists but allows on crazies.
I'm from Poland and all SNL sketches works perfectly fine here and for most of the Europe, as far as I know. I'm not fully aware what is the reason behind SNL being blocked in Canada but my shot would be: you're in the NBC broadcast zone, so they want you to watch it live via some PPV for example. Europe is harder to juice for numerous reasons, so they just gave it for free. Use some sort of VPN (build into Opera, CyberGhost etc.) and you will be fine.

The early seasons are the only ones that got DVD releases. I've never bought it so I don't know what the format is but I'd assume it's each episode separately
Yes. I definitely remember them. My dad had some, and I remember sneaking around to read them. Hell just look at the chapter titles. Go here and click look inside. You can see the first page if you scroll up.
Man times have DEFINITELY changed.
They are also on Amazon but there are only two left! https://www.amazon.com/Rubies-Pumpkin-Tuxedo-Orange-X-Large/dp/B014SJN618/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?ie=UTF8&dpID=41hk4tJDFyL&dpPl=1&keywords=pumpkin%20tuxedo&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&qid=1477273750&ref=plSrch&ref_=mp_s_a_1...
I also really recommend the book Live From New York, it's made up almost entirely of first hand accounts from the creators, cast members, writers, and hosts of the show over the 40 year run
